20 Jan '17

Please consider joining the Michigan Library Delegation at the 2017 National Library Legislative Day (NLLD) in Washington DC! As in past years, GaleCengage is sponsoring 2 librarians to attend this important advocacy event. Click on the link below for more information and to submit for consideration and please share with your colleagues. http://galesupport.com/legislativeday/ NLLD includes a briefing day (Monday) for librarians from all 50 states who convene in DC to represent their state and its libraries to their Congressional delegations. On Tuesday, everyone goes to the Hill to speak with their representative. It's a great way to advocate for federal funding-LSTA, ERate, ESSA, etc.-all of which effect us on the state level and to let Congress know what great work libraries do in their states/districts. We'd love to have you join us this year! Please let me know if you have any questions.

In Context family of products (Biography, Canada, Global Issues, Science, Student Resources, U.S. History, and World History) will now provide shorter citation and bookmark URL links. What you'll find is: * Shorter URLs that provide users with a direct link to a Gale document or portal page. * Users are taken directly into a single document or portal page without an authentication request. * Multiple citation formats are available in the product citation tool to make it easier for users to cite their research. * EZ Proxy information is now displayed in the citation URL when present in the school or libraries Gale Admin account. Additionally, new and updated content has been released into many of the Gale In Context products. Opposing Viewpoints In Context<http://www.galesupport.com/migeoipcheck/migeoipcheck-gale.php?database=OVIC> now has homepage spotlights that feature U.S. foreign relations, politics and the media, the new 115th Congress, STEM education, and flexible workplaces in addition to new portal pages on LGBT Rights and State Laws, Net Neutrality, and Sentencing and Prison Reform.
